With many dating sponsors, you can kiss your webcams sales goodbye.

And even rev-share dating sponsors have their 'token' tests - they collect money from members but don't SHARE with afiliates!

Turning off exits may be fine for gallery sites, but with dating sites, the 'free member area' is the ultimate leak. You can work hard to get your sponsors free members, and then the sponsor works hard to convert your members into other sales for which you will never see penny one.

Am I the only one who is thinking that dating (as an affiliate money maker) is beyond diminishing returns these days?
